The Russia-Ukraine war enters its 265th day. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has told the G20 summit in a virtual address that now was the time to stop Russia’s war in his country ‘justly and on the basis of the United Nations Charter and international law’. The heads of US and Russian intelligence met in Turkey and talked about the consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and raised the issue of US prisoners in Russia. ”We are moving forward,” Zelenskyy told reporters in Kherson after addressing troops. ‘We are ready for peace, peace for all our country.’
